Language Chapt. Two
I don't think anybody else has answered this question yet in a post, so I picked it just to be different. :) It doesn't make much sense, but I thought it was an interesting question, and I'd like to know the real answer.
Question Two:
A person who doesn’t have any speaking difficulty would quickly think of what they want to say and the words come out verbally as the person’s brain works quickly like a database to search for the correct words in the correct sequence. It also helps if the speaker thought clearly and had a moment to think before they spoke.
When someone speaks incorrectly, they may switch the beginning sounds of words which translates into nonsense. We all make this mistake every now and then, and speaking from personal experience, this is because the speaker doesn’t think about what the words as they’re saying them, like when they are speaking fast, for any reason such as anger, excitement, etc. Because someone who is aphasic has a damaged brain and therefore a damaged thinking process, the words often don’t come out right.
